The Bilingual Stations Game

[pne]

Not too difficult: Cyffordd Twnnel Hafren

Severn Tunnel Junction.

Where's Porth Ia?

 

[Xenophon PCDGS]

St Ives

Traigh a Deas Aird Rosain

 

[Francis]

Traigh is beach (like Welsh traeth)
Deas is south
Aird Rosain looks suspiciously like Ardrossan. Aird is a coastal point, I think

hence: Ardrossan South Beach

Try: Deilginis

Dalkey (passed through there yesterday!)

Gabhal Bhinn Éadair & Domhnach Míde

 

[Xenophon PCDGS]

Howth Junction and Donaghmede

Carn Bryn

 

[Francis]

Carn = Cairn, or handle, shaft, hilt of a sword etc
Bryn = hill.
Can't find any place called Cairnhill

 

[Xenophon PCDGS]

It can also translate as..."crooked hill," which may well be a land feature near to the town in question. An alternative older name is also that of Kammbronn

This station lies on the main line.

After a long interval...... Camborne

An t-Ard-Ruigh

 

[Xenophon PCDGS]

Airdrie

Allt an Fhuarain

 

[Francis]

Allt is 'burn'
Fuaran is 'spring'
Et voila: Springburn.

Tobar na Mathar

I'm running out of stations I know the Celtic names of Ah well.

Thanks.

Ath Tiomain

This remains the clue to be solved.

 

[Francis]

Attymon (between Athlone and Athenry). Haven't we been there already too?


Léim an Bhradáin Confaí.

 

[Xenophon PCDGS]

Good point. Perhaps we should double-check our posting submissions prior to entering them.

Fentenberan

 

[pne]

Fentenberan

Sounds like "Fenten" (fountain, spring) of "Peran" (St Piran) to me = Perranwell.

Tewynblustri if correct. (Which may have come up before but I think not from me.)

Hi guys!

Just to say that the LUAS stations in Eire can be used if you want to. I've edited the rules slightly to show this.

Cheers.

 

[Francis]

The cell or church of Fintan, but where's his rail station?



Found it! The church is indeed St Fintan's, at Sutton on the Howth branch, north Dublin.


A bit further up, Coire Odhar

This will be one with the new idea of tiny platforms....Corrour
